The house itself is alive with memories, trapped in a state of suspended time, an echo that will not fade. The ghost watches, trapped in the mirror, unable to escape the house it once inhabited.

Igorrr's third single 9 replies

Following "ADHA" and "Blastbeat Falafel" comes Igorrr's sludgy death metal single, "Infestis" -- a more ominous creation that should send shivers down your spine.

Forthcoming record Amen is set for release on September 26th via Metal Blade Records.
